Christmas tree time

Christmas trees in New York arrive on street corners, wrapped up in netting and held up by wooden brackets. Brave souls (or guys out to make a buck) brave the cold weather in tents with wreaths and decorations waiting for us all to come out of our apartments to buy a tree, hoping we’ll want one of the big ones for $350.

We walked a couple blocks to a neighborhood lot last weekend and met all the trees. We chose our usual small one and carried it home and decorated it with orange baubles and fairy lights.
